Hi! This card was made for today's Ways to Use it Challenge: In With the New.
I decided to use this Sneak Peek stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers. (It's part of the Serenity Line coming out next Wednesday.) It's also teamed with a new paper called Great Grandma's Lightest Pink.
I used the technique called Black Magic. I stamped the SOLID images in New Canvas and used a heat tool to dry. Next, I colored in the solid areas with colored pencils. The result is a very dark background with a "lighter" foreground.
For embellishments, I used a new Asian coin, ribbon and half pearls.
Finished card size: 5" square
Time to complete: 9 minutes

Faith, this is gorgeous and a great example of the black magic technique. It doesn't always turn out this beautiful as I can attest! Thanks for always sharing your talents with us.
